A member firm of the CIOT

At its hearing on 26 September 2011, the Disciplinary Tribunal heard a single charge against a firm of Chartered Tax Advisers. The charge alleged that the firm had provided Inadequate Professional Service within the meaning of the Taxation Disciplinary Scheme Regulations 2010 by not carrying out its work with a proper regard for the technical and professional standards expected of it, in that it failed to clarify with a client what his instructions were in connection with the proposed sale of a property overseas.
The Tribunal found that the charge was not proved and the complaint was therefore dismissed.
